Content During the course the student will become familiar with the properties and application areas of different constructional materials. The recent scientific results dealing with material science and technology will be discussed. Aspects of selecting and comparing different materials (metals and their alloys, polymers, ceramics, composites, wood materials, adaptive materials, nanomaterials) are discussed from the viewpoints of functionality, manufacturing aspects, costs and environmental aspects of the product. Future trends in materials science are discussed briefly. Innovative solutions of the material selection tasks will be discussed. Environmental aspects of material selection from the viewpoint of LCC and LCA and the basics of MIPS calculations. Principles to formulate and solve the materials solution tasks based on analytical and systematic approaches and means to develop models to support the selection process staring from the product’s requirement list will be discussed in details. Multi-language teaching environment will be utilized during the project work.
